Suicide Squad DP Shares Haunting Photo Of Jared Leto's Joker

By Joseph Schmidt - July 15, 2017

When Suicide Squad released in theaters last year, it was a financial success at the global box office, bringing the first live-action adaptation of many beloved DC Comics characters to the big screen.

But despite winning an Academy Award, it was still met with mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. Fans were even torn on Jared Leto’s portrayal of the Joker, despite the character not being featured in the movie in a major role.

Suicide Squad’s cinematographer recently posted a new image to his personal Instagram account featuring Leto’s version of the Clown Prince of Crime.

Director of Photography Roman Vasyanov posted the photo from deleted scenes with the Joker in his tuxedo. The sequence was entirely cut from the finished film despite featuring prominently in the trailers of the movie. It shows Joker with debris on the side of his face, possibly taking place after his failed attempt to rescue Harley Quinn at the movie’s midpoint.

Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will theSuicide Squadresolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Written and directed by David Ayer, the film starred Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis. The cast also included Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne, Adam Beach, and Karen Fukuhara in her feature film debut.
